Do you use Unidata software packages? Do you love to write code? The Unidata Summer Internship program is looking for you!
The application deadline for the 2016 Unidata Summer Internship has been extended until 22 February 2016.
The Unidata Summer Internship offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to work with Unidata software engineers and scientists on projects drawn from a wide variety of areas in the atmospheric and computational sciences. Unidata's mission is to support the Earth Science research and education community with data and tools for data access, analysis, and visualization. As a Unidata intern, you'll pursue the goal of adding innovative enhancements to data access, analysis, and visualization tools developed within Unidata.
Unidata is a great place to work. Our relaxed environment and small program size give you the opportunity to benefit from individual mentoring and to build a close working relationship with the technical staff.
Some of the projects you might work on include:
- Work to enhance Unidata supported scientific analysis and visualization software products, e.g., IDV and AWIPS-2.
- Improve and extend MetPy — an open-source Python toolkit for meteorology
- Contribute improvements to the netCDF4-Python API and Documentation
- Investigate the impact of data localization, enabled by cloud technologies, using the THREDDS Data Server (TDS) with Siphon and MetPy via Unidata's JupyterHub instance
- Developing your own new ideas to benefit the Unidata community.
- Use of Unidata tools to generate products for use by the Unidata community, e.g., develop and document a library of IDV bundles.
The internship will run from 23 May to 29 July, 2016. You must currently be enrolled as a junior or senior or in a graduate level program at a United States university to apply. For additional details and information on how to apply, visit the Summer Internships page.
